The name is CyricZ, and he is the reason the west can get platinum in this series. Over the years, he wrote the best guides on gamefaqs one can ask for. His appearance on reddit has been seen as a second coming of Christ lol.
Back to the problem, a lot of controversies followed the recent announcements, and besides dumb rereleases and unlisting of “legacy” remasters, CyricZ is very unhappy that remaster of Yakuza 3 with added campaign includes a known harrasser and sexual assaulter Teruyuki Kagawa as the voice and the face of the antagonist.
Although that remaster means fixing known issues with fighting gameplay, and also adding a lot new things, I myself respect and join people who wouldn’t want to support that.
There’s a pretty big difference between real sexual harassment and fictional sexual harassment as entertainment. One actually affects humans negatively and the other is just a matter of tastes.
Did you read what he wrote…? He claims hiring this guy goes against the messaging in the games. The messaging in the last game included “rape is comedic topic when it happens to a man”
Of course it’s different to actual assault but it’s pretty sick that you’re defending it as an acceptable form of humor.
It’s acceptable to a lot of people. I don’t care for it but I’m not for censorship. I don’t think it’s funny and it’s also extremely played out. It’s hack material.
I’m 100% for firing and not hiring actual sexual predators.
This is why I commented
That’s disgusting
Yes, it’s in bad taste. Still not anywhere as bad as actually doing in real life. Treating them both as equal is nonsense and/or disingenuous.
